Douluo: Starting with a self-created soul ring

**Chapter 171: Obtaining the Nine Divine Tests of the God Shura**

Immediately after, Bibi Dong began absorbing the 100,000-year-old soul bone left by the Azure Bull Python.

This was a left leg soul bone.

Bibi Dong took half an hour to absorb everything.

"I've reached Level 86!"

When Bibi Dong opened her eyes, they were filled with excitement!

Although she had a premonition that after absorbing the 100,000-year Soul Ring and soul bone, her Soul Power level would increase rapidly, advancing six levels at once still left her thrilled.

It could only be said that the 100,000-year Soul Ring sacrificed by the Azure Bull Python was truly top quality!

"She advanced six levels at once!"

"As expected of a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, it's truly powerful!"

"This is so strong! It takes us at least ten years to evolve from Level 80 to Level 86!"

"..."

The Douluo accompanying the group were happy for Bibi Dong but also extremely envious when they saw how quickly she had reached Level 86.

This was truly something to be jealous of!

"Hmm!"

"If that's the case, Sister, you should absorb the Soul Ring and soul bone sacrificed by the Titan Giant Ape at the same time and see if that can help you break through Level 90 in one go!"

"If it's possible, then I can directly attach your ninth Soul Ring to your Death Spider Emperor, and you might be able to reach Title Douluo today!"

When Gu Ziyi heard that she had advanced six levels instantly, he also became very excited and immediately shared his plan.

He remembered that Tang San had been at Level 85 after returning from Sea God Island.

After that, in the original story, Da Ming and Er Ming were hunted by Bibi Dong. Tang San rushed to support them, but he was too late. The two Soul Beasts had already been poisoned by her. Even though they escaped with his help, they couldn't escape death.

So, Da Ming and Er Ming sacrificed themselves for Tang San together. Since his primary Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor and had no space for another Soul Ring, he managed to attach the Soul Ring generated from Da Ming's sacrifice to his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

Normally, this shouldn't have been possible. When a Soul Master has no available space for more Soul Rings, they can't receive one through sacrifice.

The reason why Xiao Tao thought of killing Gu Ziyi through sacrifice was that he had an available Soul Ring slot in his body. But since he refused, the sacrifice process was nearly wasted.

The reason Tang San could do it was that he had twin Martial Souls. Although his primary Martial Soul had no space for more Soul Rings, his Clear Sky Hammer did, allowing him to accept the sacrifices of both Soul Beasts.

Then, during this period, with the help of their sacrifice, Tang San reached Level 91 in one go. As soon as he advanced, a new Soul Ring slot became available on his primary Martial Soul, allowing him to immediately attach Da Ming's Soul Ring to his Blue Silver Emperor.

Bibi Dong also had twin Martial Souls, so if she could break through Level 90 after accepting Er Ming's sacrifice, she could do the same!

The only question was whether Er Ming's sacrifice would be enough to push Bibi Dong straight to Level 90.

In theory, it shouldn't be a problem.

Tang San advanced from Level 85 to Level 91—a six-level difference.

However, from Level 90 onward, the energy required to advance each level is at least equal to the sum of all previous levels.

Therefore, it was still uncertain whether Bibi Dong could reach Level 90 all at once!

Being able to cultivate her Death Spider Emperor to Level 90 first would naturally be the best choice.

"Is this really possible?"

Bibi Dong was excited when she heard this.

Of course, she would be thrilled if she could cultivate her Death Spider Emperor to Level 90 first.

"I'm not sure if it's possible, but Your Highness, the Holy Maiden, can try!"

Xiao Tao spoke up at this moment.

She was also very surprised by Gu Ziyi's idea.

She didn't know if it would work, but since it was her master who suggested it, it must be feasible.

"Titan Giant Ape, it's your turn!"

Gu Ziyi looked directly at Er Ming and spoke.

"Roar—"

In response to his words, Er Ming roared toward the sky.

After taking one last look at his sister Xiao Wu and her mother, he finally decided to sacrifice himself.

Buzz—

Bibi Dong's figure was once again enveloped in the energy of the sacrifice.

"Er Ming!"

Sob~

Seeing that her friend had also begun the sacrifice, Xiao Wu, who was in her mother's arms, bit her lower lip hard, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Even though she knew their souls would still be there, she was still deeply saddened to see both of them sacrifice themselves one after another.

After this separation, she didn't know when she would see them again.

Unless Bibi Dong truly managed to surpass Level 100 and become a goddess, they would basically have no chance to meet again.

Thinking about this, big tears rolled down her cheeks, and her heart filled with reluctance!

Xiao Wu couldn't help but turn her head, her eyes red, and glare fiercely at Gu Ziyi.

If it weren't for him, both Da Ming and Er Ming wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves and would still be here with her, safe and sound.

Even though they were in a cooperative relationship now, no one knew what the future would bring.

"Little girl, don't look at me like that. You'll understand in the future just how right your choice today was!"

When Gu Ziyi saw her glare, he placed his hand on her head and ruffled her hair, then spoke with an extremely confident smile.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu huffed and quickly turned her head away.

She didn't want that hateful man to touch her head!

"This rabbit-ear headpiece is really cute too!"

"It suits you perfectly!"

Gu Ziyi didn't mind and complimented her when he noticed her rabbit-ear accessory.

"..."

Hearing a human praise her for the first time, her beautiful face turned slightly red, making her feel a little special.

However, thinking about how all the hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beasts in her group had been captured today, Xiao Wu got angry again and turned her head, ignoring him.

Gu Ziyi didn't pay any more attention to her. After bringing her back to the Martial Soul Hall, he would have plenty of time to interact with her.

She was a cool-tempered loli. She had cultivated for 100,000 years. Even if she hadn't lived all those years fully, she must have at least existed for tens of thousands of years.

So she was definitely a cool loli!

It seemed like she was still quite young and needed more time to mature.

This time, when Bibi Dong absorbed the Soul Ring sacrificed by Er Ming, she didn't devote all her energy and concentration solely to refining it. Instead, she split her focus into two other tasks simultaneously.

For her, multitasking was no longer a difficult feat.

It was only after mastering the art of multitasking that she slowly began to grasp the ability to merge her Martial Souls.

So when Er Ming's massive body disintegrated, she spotted the 100,000-year-old left leg bone he left behind while still absorbing and refining the energy from his sacrifice.

Following her younger brother's instructions, Bibi Dong quickly grabbed the 100,000-year-old soul bone in front of her and began absorbing and refining it.

"Another hundred-thousand-year soul bone!"

"Your Highness, the Holy Maiden, could she really be reaching the Title Douluo level in one go?"

"This is really terrifying..."

"..."

When Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others saw that Bibi Dong was beginning to absorb another 100,000-year-old soul bone, they were so envious that they almost drooled.

Although they were jealous, they did not dare to have any thoughts about it.

They were fortunate enough to witness with their own eyes the appearance of such a precious 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Perhaps because Bibi Dong had just accepted Da Ming's sacrifice and her Soul Power had increased drastically all at once, it took her longer to accept Er Ming's sacrifice this time.

During this period, Gu Ziyi occasionally focused and opened his "Fire Eyes" to check on her condition.

He could see that his elder sister's Soul Power was steadily increasing.

Buzz—

Then, at a certain moment, Bibi Dong excitedly opened her eyes.

"I actually broke through Level 90!"

Bibi Dong, who was still in the process of accepting Er Ming's sacrifice, couldn't help but exclaim in joy.

After sharing the good news with her younger brother, Bibi Dong immediately continued absorbing the energy.

Now that she had reached Level 90, she naturally wanted to attach Er Ming's Soul Ring to her Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor.

As for her second Martial Soul—the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, she was ready to cultivate all her Soul Rings through the path her younger brother had created!

After witnessing Li Chanfei condensing a 50,000-year-old Soul Ring through self-condensation, Bibi Dong had already formed this idea in her mind.

Now, both her eighth and ninth Soul Rings were 100,000-year-old Soul Rings, and she also possessed many high-grade soul bones.

Bibi Dong firmly believed that the self-condensed Soul Rings cultivated by her second Martial Soul should also be 100,000-year-old Soul Rings.

Li Chanfei had managed to condense a 50,000-year-old Soul Ring, so there was no reason why she couldn't condense a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring.

Just the thought of it filled Bibi Dong with extreme excitement. Her second Martial Soul might be equipped entirely with 100,000-year-old Soul Rings.

By then, once she combined them all, she would possess at least 11 Soul Rings of 100,000 years.

She didn't dare to claim that no one would ever surpass her, but this would undoubtedly be unprecedented in history.

In the future, with Gu Ziyi's method of cultivating self-condensed Soul Rings, as long as another innately full Soul Power twin Martial Soul user appeared, they would definitely be able to cultivate all their Soul Rings to 100,000 years.

So Bibi Dong couldn't guarantee that no one would surpass her in the future, but in the current history of the continent, she was definitely the first person to possess so many 100,000-year-old Soul Rings.

Suppressing her vision of the future, she began transferring all the energy from the Titan Giant Ape's sacrificed Soul Ring into her Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor.

Buzz—

After a while, the ninth 100,000-year-old Soul Ring was successfully born on her Death Spider Emperor.

The energy that Da Ming and Er Ming had sacrificed together was enough to push her into Titled Douluo rank.

Buzz—

Behind her, the shadow of the Death Spider Emperor emerged, and Soul Rings began rising from beneath Bibi Dong's body.

Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, and Red!

The moment all the Soul Rings appeared, an overwhelming Soul Power pressure erupted from her body, instantly shocking the entire core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Whoosh~"

"Roar~"

"Swish~"

"..."

Suddenly, a large number of Soul Beasts deep within the Great Star Dou Forest became alarmed. Sensing Bibi Dong's powerful soul pressure, they fled from the center of the forest one after another.

...

At the same time, in the divine realm beyond the Douluo Star.

God Shura, who was sitting silently on his throne, suddenly opened his eyes.

"She has already reached the level of a Titled Douluo at such a young age?"

"Such qualifications are truly exceptional!"

God Shura murmured in admiration.

Bibi Dong possessed the Death God Domain that he had rewarded her with, allowing God Shura to sense her general situation.

Moreover, since the girl had broken through to the Titled Douluo level at such a young age, even if she had not received the reward of the Death God Domain that he left in the Slaughter City, he would have still been able to sense it.

Not only him, but other gods in the divine realm could also sense it.

Ordinary Soul Masters breaking through to the Titled Douluo level wouldn't trigger such attention. Only a genius with extraordinary talent like Bibi Dong could be sensed by them upon reaching the Titled Douluo level.

This was a trigger mechanism created by the divine realm to remind the gods that extraordinary geniuses had emerged in the lower world.

If any god wished to pass on their divine throne, they could then consider these individuals as potential successors.

"Fortunately, my Death God Domain has the ability to block the trigger mechanism. Now, except for me, no one else knows of her existence!"

God Shura then smiled again, feeling proud of his arrangements.

However, he was also conflicted about whether he should pass on his divine throne to her.

He had indeed considered passing on his God Throne—otherwise, he would not have created the Slaughter City to select a worthy candidate.

"Originally, only those who have evolved from the Death God Domain into the Death Domain are qualified to accept my divine inheritance trials!"

"Since the Death God Domain has blocked the trigger mechanism, preventing others from detecting her existence, I will give her a chance!"

Soon, God Shura made his decision, and his eyes gleamed red.

A divine thought suddenly erupted from his gaze, piercing through the divine realm and descending upon Douluo Star, landing on Bibi Dong's body.

...

Bibi Dong suddenly felt her consciousness being pulled back into the Slaughter City. A blood-red moon hung in the sky, and the ground was soaked with the scent of blood.

"I am God Shura!"

"Are you willing to accept my divine inheritance trial?"

As a majestic voice echoed, Bibi Dong saw a tall and powerful figure emerging from the void beneath the blood moon.

She looked at the figure in surprise but found that she could not see God Shura's appearance clearly. She could only tell that he was a towering and imposing presence.

"God Shura?"

"I accept!"

Upon hearing the voice of the other party, she immediately responded with excitement.

Bibi Dong guessed that the figure before her was a god and understood what the divine inheritance trial meant.

Thus, she did not hesitate for even a second. Even a moment of hesitation would be disrespectful to this opportunity!

So, Bibi Dong agreed without delay.

"Very well, I now grant you the Nine Divine Trials of God Shura!"

"I hope you can complete the assessment soon!"

After hearing her response, God Shura waved his hand, and a golden-red light fell upon her body.

The golden-red light then quickly separated and transformed into nine cards.

[First Trial of God Shura: Evolve the Death God Domain into the Death Domain, time limit: 10 years!]

[Reward: God Shura Affinity +10!]

Bibi Dong saw the first trial of God Shura displayed on the first card. The contents of the subsequent trials remained hidden.

Clearly, the Nine Divine Trials of God Shura would be revealed one by one, only after Bibi Dong completed the first trial.

"Evolving the Death God Domain?"

Bibi Dong was slightly surprised when she saw this. So the first divine trial was this.

Was it just a coincidence that Gu Ziyi had told her to cultivate the Death God Domain beforehand?

Bibi Dong looked up and found that God Shura had already disappeared.
